    Have any data to back up western Europe has unproportiomal prejudice against Russians when compared to other nationalities? We currently have issues with Russian government and those that support it for obvious reasons, but this apparent hate of Russians is fantasy.

      https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/07/antirussian-hate-putin-europe/.

      Here's an article. It's from all the way back in 2022 and it's from a newspaper owned by a billionaire. You can't really get more mainstream than that.

        Good article, but does not seem fitting. It′s about bunch of uneducated assholes making threats due to the fact that country from which they originated from is currently the aggressor. Same happened to Iraqis in USA for example.

          'Good article that addresses my point. I will declare it as not fitting'.

          It′s about bunch of uneducated assholes making threats due to the fact that country from which they originated from is currently the aggressor

          If that was the reason for their behaviour, they would have been orders of magnitude as hostile to anybody from France, Switzerland, Ukraine, Germany, Pissrael, the US, and every other NATO country.
          Again, which country has invaded anybody is not a good predictor for this behaviour.

          Same happened to Iraqis in USA for example

          Completely correct. And you may have noticed that it was not because Iraq invaded anybody. It was because of a targeted propaganda campaign by your empire. Just like it is in the case with Russia.

      Have any data to back up western Europe has unproportiomal prejudice against Russians when compared to other nationalities?

      An example would be the fact that there is a perfect correlation between who is banned from working at CERN and their nationality, and 0 correlation between who is banned from working at CERN and whether or not they are a citizen of a state that has invaded anybody.

      Also, the rabid anti-Russian propaganda campaign that you've been getting blasted for at least years now.

      We currently have issues with Russian government and those that support it for obvious reasons

      What are those 'reasons'?

        It affects those that are working for the aggressor country. There are many of Russian descent still working in CERN:

        All relations between CERN and Russian and Belarusian institutions will cease as of these dates. Relations continue with scientists of Russian or Belarusian nationality otherwise affiliated with CERN.

        The Council reaffirmed that all the decisions it has taken to date in light of the ongoing military invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation with the involvement of the Republic of Belarus, along with the actions undertaken by the CERN Management, remain in force.

        .

        What are those 'reasons'?

        Biggest attempt to destabilise Europe since WW2?
